Marmora Mine

On the outskirts of the town of Marmora lies the Marmora Mine, an abandoned open pit iron mine that supplied iron ore pellets to the steel mills of Buffalo, New York, from 1955 to 1979.

The remaining pit stretches more than 656 feet deep and covers 85 acres at the surface. Underground streams fill the pit with water, officially making the mine a present day lake. The affording view over the water and of Marmora is a definite sight to see.
